I notice that the Opposed Roll rules in Vaesen don't have any language about how each opposed success "subtracts out" one of your successes. This is different from, say, Forbidden Lands or Coriolis where that language is plainly written. Was this an oversight or does Vaesen do it differently from other games?
This matters for the Rulebook situations of Poisoning and Bartering with a Reluctant Seller, so I was hoping I could get a rule clarification on it.
For example, if I'm bartering with a reluctant seller for his Sword (Availability/Target Number 4) I need to make an opposed MANIPULATION test modified by my Resource bonus. I roll 4 successes, my opponent rolls 2. In Forbidden Lands, that would be a failure since the opponent's successes subtracts out two of mine. In Vaesen RAW, however, that would be a success since I didn't lose the opposed roll and I achieved a number of successes equal to the item's availability.
I think either scenario "works" but I'm curious what the intent was.
Poison would be a similar situation. If I roll 2 successes in my Resist Poison FORCE test and the GM rolls 3, do I take 3 Conditions or only 1? Again I could see it going either way.
